Chapter 252

In the evening, Dongcheng District.

The sky is a little gloomy and a bit stuffy. Anyone with some experience can guess that there may be rain later.

Dongcheng District is probably the residence chosen by all the nobles in cities in another world. The specific reason is not verified. It is probably because the sun that sprinkles the light always rises from the east. Everyone knows that nobles are sometimes really bored...

Perhaps because of the weather, luxury carriages were constantly returning from outside. However, when passing through several guard posts at the door, they slowed down and were inspected by guards.

This appearance does not mean that the nobles abide by the rules and disciplines. You must know that if they encounter interception when they walk through the city gate, their first reaction is often to whip at the city guards who are not open.

Now that I am so honest in accepting inspection, it is naturally for the safety of my place of residence.

In fact, this is true. As the location of most noble manors, Dongcheng District naturally needs to be put first. It can be said that the level of alert here is no less than that of the City Lord's Mansion. In addition to the three or four guard posts that must be set up here through the gate, there are also several brigades of regular guard hall cavalry stations stationed in various parts of the city, and small teams are sent to patrol from time to time to ensure that no matter where accidents occur, they can arrive at the fastest time.

However, even so, the nobles still used various excuses to raise private soldiers that were far beyond the imperial regulations, and always defended the safety of the manor. Well, this is a group of people who lacked a sense of security.

At this moment, a carriage with a not-so-gorgeous appearance was parked at the gate, and a brief inspection was made, and the guards were allowed to leave respectfully.

If the guards here want to do well, they are naturally inevitably respectful. However, the respect now is different from others, with less superficiality and more flattery. There is no way, just look at the horse rider logo on the carriage. This is their immediate boss, the director of the Security Department.

As soon as the carriage was released, the drizzle drizzled down. The rain was not heavy, but it was undoubtedly annoying, especially when it was about to reach the doorstep, so

"Your mother!" Secretary of Security Demps lifted the curtains and looked at the rain on the wall of the car window that was winding like a spider web, and cursed depressedly.

Demps, the Secretary of the Security Bureau of Mountain Creek City, has been in office for nearly twenty years. He was born in this city and was already familiar with all this, so he did not intend to make any changes after taking over this position. If there were no accidents, the same would be true for the next decade. Occasionally, he would have cleaned up the gangs that crossed the line and suppressed the rebellious civilians in the affiliated farms according to orders... that's it. Not all Secretary of the Security Bureau would be like Bovis, at least Demps was not.

According to the common rules, the higher the title, the closer the nobles will be to the center of the city. The position of the security director is naturally not high, and they don’t even have a title, so his family lives not far from the gate guard post.

It's not a manor, but it's good to have four or five buildings here.

After the coachman stopped the carriage, Demps struggled for a moment, picked up the blanket in the carriage and covered it with a cake beside him. Oh, by the way, today is his daughter's tenth birthday.

"Damn Rain!" Cursing again, Demps rushed off the carriage with the cake in his arms, and then ran along the path in front of the door. Of course, he could ask the driver for help, but it was his daughter's birthday after all, so it seemed more meaningful.

Fortunately, the road was not long. Although Demps was middle-aged, since he was the director of the security department, he naturally had strength and physical strength. In just a few seconds, he rushed to the roof of the hall.

After calming down a little, Demps breathed a sigh of relief, but the cake did not deform.

Bang, bang, bang!

Bang, bang, bang!

"Oh, damn lazy maid, I really should fire you all! Swear to the God of Light, I will fire you immediately!" Demps cursed with a cake and blanket, and effortlessly took out the key from one pocket to open the door.

As expected, there was no one in the hall.

"I will fire you all, get out of here..." The good mood for celebrating my daughter's birthday has been destroyed, Demps walked through the hall angrily and walked straight towards the main house.

"Damn it, I didn't even lit the light... Uh, what?" There were several large windows in the hall. Although it was dim outside, it was barely visible. But the main house was not good. Demps stepped in and his eyes suddenly turned dark, and he was even more angry and shivered! Moreover, in the darkness, his feet also stepped on something soft, and before he could figure out what it was.

Sigh... A little fire light came on, and the silver candlestick on the table in the house was lit, and the environment was brighter.

Demps narrowed his eyes and subconsciously reached out to cover his eyes. However, as soon as he stretched out a little, his face changed drastically because a strange middle-aged man with a cold face was sitting behind the dining table.

"you……"

"Shh!" Huh... pressed his lips, then exhale and put out the matches. The middle-aged man calmly adjusted his seat, looked at the frame board in his hand, looked up, and a cold and hoarse voice came out, "Good evening, Lord Demps Guardian."

"Who are you?" Demps returned to calmness and lowered his voice and said viciously. At the same time, his body was tense, ready to avoid the exquisite crossbow in the middle-aged man's hands at any time.

"Sit!" did not answer the question, and the middle-aged man pointed to the chair opposite the table with his left hand holding the frame.

"I warn you..." Demps certainly could not sit over. With the current distance between the two, he was still sure to avoid crossbow arrows, at least he would not hit the vital point, but it would be hard to say when he sat close. However, he shut up halfway through the warning words, because following the direction of the crossbow that the middle-aged man moved, Demps was shocked and angry and found that his wife and daughter leaned against each other, with their eyes closed and lying on the soft seat on the side of the roof.

"Sit!" the middle-aged man spoke again.

This time Demps walked over with a pale face, but in an instant he met the soft thing before again. He lowered his head, the chubby maid who was about to be fired by him was lying down at his feet... His face twitched, walked forward a few steps, put the cake blanket aside, pulled open the seat and sat down slowly.

"How did you come in?"

"Good family! Today is your daughter, um, I think, Anne, Anne's birthday, right?" The middle-aged man placed the frame in front of Demps, and there was an oil painting in it. The Demps family of three was originally supposed to be placed in Anne's bedroom.

"Don't be nervous, they're fine, they just fell asleep temporarily and woke up in about ten minutes."

Huh... Demps didn't care about the threats of middle-aged people to his family, and breathed a sigh of relief, and the rock fell in his heart.

At this time, the middle-aged man spoke coldly again: "So our conversation will end in five minutes. If I don't get the desired result at that time, or you made any impulsive actions in the middle... Sorry, I will kill more than you."

He paused, "I just hope that the director can have a rational understanding and hope that we can cooperate happily."

"What do you want me to do?" Demps asked immediately without delay when he heard this.

"Wow, very good, we have a good start." The middle-aged man shrugged and then clicked the table. "It's just a small request. Well, tomorrow there will be a group of people entering Shanxi City, with no more than twenty people, and they are very good at it. I hope the director can mobilize the guard cavalry and greet the soldiers guarding the city and the gangs in the city to find their location."

Having said that, there is no need to guess, this middle-aged man is naturally Tang En.

Joshia's secret agency could not be counted on, otherwise he would not have known the other party's identity until now. If he had to take the risk of finding someone through the energy of the Director of the Security Bureau. This effect is undoubtedly obvious. Even if the guards cannot recognize the city guards and the guards cannot be found, those gang members will definitely dig it out. After all, those people's style of conduct is very arrogant and should not be too hidden.

Of course, this premise is that Demps can agree. In fact, Tang En was already 80% sure in his heart at this time. Thank God of Light. This is not a person similar to Powells. Otherwise, even if his family is by his side, he will definitely fight now.

Demps frowned when he heard this. Of course, his cavalry was fine. It would be difficult for the defending soldiers. After all, it was not a system. Well, I owe someone a favor. But those gangs... were not afraid that they would not agree. Demps believed that as long as he made a request, those gangs would do their best to do it, but the consequences of this... Demps was not a person who was as jealous as Powells. He was just worried that those gangs would take the opportunity to raise prices and disrupt the normal structure of Shanxi City.

But no matter how you think about it, Demps, as Tang En expected, would consider the first thing he should do was to agree.

"You have wasted two minutes!" Tang En said lightly.

"I promise!" Demps did not hesitate after hearing this, and gritted his teeth and agreed.

Tang En shook his head: "No, what I want is not you agree to the request, but you promise to find them."

"You..." Demps glared, but looked at the mirror frame on the table, and his figure was hunched over in an instant, and said helplessly, "I will definitely try my best to find it, but Shanxi City has a daily migrant population..."

"Although I understand your feelings very much, another thirty seconds have passed!" Tang En said coldly.

"Huff..." In just a few minutes, Demps' forehead had sweaty and wiped it. His face was twisted and he gasped for a few breaths, "I promise, I promise to find them!"

"Very good!" Tang En nodded with satisfaction, but his tone was still the same cold, "The next words are a bit shameless, please forgive me! Anne is studying at St. Ya Women's College now. Well, your wife must go to the church once a Saturday, and the time is..."

"Enough!" Demps' face turned pale and roared in a low voice. Of course he understood what these words meant. If he didn't carefully find the dozen or so damn people, his life would be threatened.

"Sorry again." Tang En stood up and bowed a little, then pointed to it and said lightly, "There is a small device in the master bedroom of the attic, which contains burst crystals. I hope you can find it in the next five minutes. Goodbye, I wish you a wonderful night."

After the words were finished, Demps had no time to get angry, and his eyes flashed in an instant... He opened his mouth, was stunned for a few seconds, turned around and looked around, rubbed his eyes, and saw no one! The other party actually disappeared in front of him. If it weren't for the frame on the table, Demps really thought he had a nightmare.

This is a demonstration... Demps instantly understood the other party's intentions, and before the shock was dissipated, before the warning was loudly heard... Wait, burst the crystal!!!

Bang, bang...

The chair fell to the ground, and the thing blocking the road was directly hit by the wall. Demps was like an angry and panic bull rushing upstairs at high speed.

“Master bedroom, master bedroom…”

Bang, the door opened, and it was pitch black. I rushed straight to the desk, and the movements were frozen instantly when I was about to arrive, and then became gentle. I slowly groped and found the matchbox in a familiar position. Demps now hated himself for why he had learned the art of aristocratic style and did not install lighting crystals.

Sigh, lit a match tremblingly and broke it. Sigh, the flame swayed, and lit the candlestick on the table.

He suddenly turned around and looked around. The master bedroom was still familiar, and there was no sign of anything on the surface.

Bang, bang, bang, drawers were gently pulled open and then they fell to the ground hard.

"No, no..." I kept muttering like a nerve, sweating like rain, Demps's inner clothes were soaked at this moment.

"Where are you, where... come out, come out..." In an instant, crawled on the ground, and the bed was still empty. Liu Shen stood up without any master and lifted the pillow, but there was still nothing.

"Woooo...wow...woooo..." As if being alarmed by the movements in the bedroom, a faint sound suddenly sounded in the room.

What sound? Demps was shocked and quickly held his breath.

“Woo woo…”

Turning his head instantly, Demps looked at the wardrobe on the other side of the bed, swallowed, took a few quick steps, and then slowly approached. The closer he got, the clearer the sound was.

The outstretched right hand squeezed tightly in the air, loosened, tightened, loosened, and finally held the wardrobe handle. Huh... bang! suddenly uncovered.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Under the wardrobe, there was a small iron cage, inside which was a pure white puppy that had not yet opened his eyes was constantly sniffing his nose, and his mouth was still making vague whimpers.

Demps looked blank in his face, staring at the puppy in a daze, his mind turned blank. After a long time, he blinked and bent down to pick up a piece of folded white paper on the cage.

Open, "I heard that Annie has always wanted to raise a puppy, so, happy birthday!"

"Ka, hehe, yeah..." Demps made a strange sound in his throat, his face complicated. He didn't know what he should think or do now...

Dingdengdeng...

A sound of footsteps came from behind, and then a crisp sound rang out.

"Dad, it's not good, Aunt Mary fainted... Oh, puppy, puppy!" Little Annie, wearing a white skirt, stepped on her from the bed, landed on the ground, and lifted the small iron cage.

"It's really a puppy, it's really a puppy. Wow, Dad, aren't you not letting a dog raise? Oh, I understand, you want to surprise me, give me a birthday gift, right?"

"Uh... Well, I'm surprised, I'm happy, do you like it?"
